Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00003
The Historic Preservation Fund Grants to Underrepresented Communities (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00003) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. It is designed to help correct longstanding gaps in how historic places are identified and recognized at the national level by focusing specifically on historic properties connected to communities that are currently underrepresented in the National Register of Historic Places and among National Historic Landmarks.
The core purpose of the funding is to support hands-on preservation planning work that leads directly to formal recognition. Grant-supported activities center on surveying and documenting historic resources, building inventories of potentially eligible properties, and completing the research and documentation needed for designation. The program is outcome-driven: projects are expected to move beyond general research and produce nomination-quality documentation that can be acted on.
A key requirement is that each project must result in a concrete submission tied to the National Register or National Historic Landmark programs. Specifically, within one year after the grant-funded work is completed, the project must culminate in either (1) submission of a new nomination to the National Register of Historic Places or the National Historic Landmark program, or (2) submission of an amendment to an existing National Register or National Historic Landmark nomination in order to better include and represent underrepresented communities. In other words, the grant is not just for studying history; it is intended to convert that work into formal designation paperwork that expands or improves national recognition.
Eligible applicants include a range of public and governmental entities: state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity listing also notes that additional categories may be eligible under an "Other" eligibility clause, depending on the program's detailed eligibility language.
Funding for individual awards is capped at $50,000 (the award ceiling). The opportunity is classified under several related funding activity categories, including arts/cultural affairs, humanities/cultural affairs, community development, and other activities as described in the full notice. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.904.
